Best sleaze/glam release of 2008?


Clutch

Recommended Posts

Ok, been listening to a lot of this stuff of late (circus of power, shotgun messiah, crash diet, etc) and wanted to get your picks (or suggestions) for the best sleaze/glam cds of the past year. Hell, the best release of recent memory is fine. Thanks for the input.

Far as I can tell it's been a really dead year for it. Not even sure how "proper" these suggestions are, but this is all I can think of:

 

MOTLEY CRUE - Saints of los angeles

GEMINI FIVE - Sex drugs anarchy

DIRTY LOOKS - Superdeluxe / Calafornia thingy

 

All great discs.

F#@k I forgot about the Motley Crue and the Dirtly Looks discs.

I'd say the Crue would be winner then with the DL 'Superdeluxe' second and then Sister Sin and then DL's 'California Free Ride'.

Crue would win a poll cos everyone knows them, but it was half a good album, half a poor album in my opinion.

 

'Danger' are pretty good too.

You should know me better than to say I'd ever pick Motley Crue over anyone for a reason like that. I just think it is genuinely a good disc (not perfect by any means) and a lot better than the rest of the "sleaze" genre I've heard this year.

 

But you make a good point with Danger. I forgot them, but they're freakin' excellent.

For this year, I'd have to say that one of my favorites was, Fatal Smile - "World Domination"...not really sleaze, just a melodic metal with a heavier edge, and a little glam too. GOOD stuff though, check it out if you haven't already!

 

A few other ones that come to mind for '08;

Saints Of The Underground - "Love the Sin, Hate the Sinner", Big Cock - "Motherload" and Gemini Five - "Sex Drugs Anarchy".

I forgot about the SOTU and the Big Cock, both of those were really good especially the Big Cock.

    • Really like that, hope there's a new album in the works  
    • Don't believe they fell out , he just joined The Sweet I think and with their blessing? Think doing it on Diamonds would have sufficed...end that chapter of the band and onto the next.
    • but then again I didn't really have high hopes on it...hopes yes...but not high if I'm honest.
    • Video for 'Change The World'.    
    • Be interested to hear this...after all of this time.
    • New album 'Another World' out June 21. Press release: Atlantic was the brainchild of guitarist and songwriter Simon Harrison. Following a successful ghost-writing career and his bands Stranger and Wisht, Simon wanted to make an album in his favoured AOR/Melodic Rock genre. Heavily influenced by bands like Whitesnake, Journey, Bad English, FM and Dare he set about writing the songs that became the first album entitled ‘Power’. Atlantic was never supposed to be a long term band and following its worldwide release Simon moved on to other writing, recording, production and mix projects. In the late nineties Simon met Mark Grimmett. He recorded several songs with Mark over the following few years and they decided at some point they would make a record together. Fast forward to 2021 Mark was talking to Simon about writing and recording a new album. Originally entitled the MGB Band, work started in the fall of 2021 … By early 2022 they had written a number of songs and they both felt they would best suit a new album under the Atlantic banner. Several members of Grim Reaper were recruited to give the Album an edge, whilst retaining the essential melodic rock/Aor feel that is Atlantic. Mark Pullin, Julian D.Hill and Ian Nash were duly recruited into the band along with keyboardist Gareth David Noon from Serpentine .. The lineup was to change later in the project with Simon and Tim Bristow taking over the keyboard role and the addition of Nick Burr and Andy Margrett on lead guitar. Work continued over the next year and finally the production was completed in late 2023. Mark Pullin stepped up to mix the album after some unforeseen issues at Simon’s studio and it was completed in March 2024. Escape Music had re released the original Power album and were absolutely the first choice to work with on the new album. Their new album “Another World” will be released exclusively by Escape Music, exciting times. The band is: Simon Harrison – Guitars, Bass & Keyboards Mark Grimmett – Lead Vocals Mark Pullin – Drums, Backing Vocals Nick Burr – Lead Guitar Julian D.Hill – Bass Tim Bristow – Keyboards Gareth David Noon – Additional Keyboards / Andy Margrett – Additional Lead Guitar / Mark Pullin – Additional Lead Guitar All songs written by Simon Jewell-Harrison & Mark Grimmett Except * Co-Written by Tim Bristow.

    • Not a fan of Staind, but this song popped up in my YouTube feed and the lyrics just hit me right in the heart this morning.    Beautiful ballad in my opinion…  
    • It's ok but at the same time not doing much for me.  To me this sounds like this could've been a modern Bon Jovi song.  If you're basically making music that sounds like Bon Jovi, why not just go back to Bon Jovi lol. As it is, Richie's solo stuff has never really grabbed me and don't see myself returning to this. Do plan to check out the Bon Jovi documentary on Hulu this weekend though
